I hear about people on here all the time that lower their cars and think it's not low enough. So, I have started leaning towards GC coil overs or aerospeeds.
The only problem I have with coil overs is that they supposedly make some noise. Do you guys with them have a problem with it? SO, I was thinking.... if I put the sleve on the shock, and welded it to the shock, it would be FIRMLY in place, and then if I were to put on the actual mount that the spring sits on, and place a rubber washer or something on top of it, the spring wouldn't rattle or creak at all. Awaiting your thoughts... also, some E-bay coilovers look Ok... maybe... Jon |

Hey Fallen, If you're planning on welding the sleeve to the housing what's going to happen if you need to replace your shocks? Bonding it to the housing will make the shock unaccessible if you'd need to replace the shock. |

I figured I'd put panel bond between the sleeve and the strut, and then weld the sleve up on top and bottom. that way the strut would be just like a real coilover suspension strut.Posts in this topic
